The Riddle Prince

Me, I need no royal introduction
Let the rags speak for themselves, but listen all the same:
For me to leave my cares and lose control was something I adored back then
But far too fast their whispers ripped to twisted roars
Black magic, lipstick, this bliss is killing me slowly (so slowly)
If only you could see what I’ve become
Please take the night away, please take the day away
The stars are fading and it won’t be long now
So riddle me this
All my questions never finding voice
All these questions in silence
Black magic, lipstick, this bliss is killing me slowly (so slowly)
If only you could see what I’ve become
Please take the night away, please take the day away
The stars are fading and it won’t be long now
No, it won’t be long now
Why won’t you follow me?
Why do you all betray me now?
Black magic, lipstick, this bliss is killing me slowly (so slowly)
If only you could see what I’ve become
Please take the night away, please take the day away
The stars are fading and it won’t be long now
Drawn to the cracks in the attic floor
I, I don’t think I’m breathing now
Just hid my face but I do recall
A smile as the lights started flickering out
Flicker out
